Photographer's Blog - Monday, January 10, 2011: Otways & Gippsland

Following the birth of our little boy, there's hasn't been much time for photography. Yes, that's right, I'm a father now! The little guy is as cute as a button, but lots of work. It feels like we're only now catching up on sleep even though it's been a couple of months. Every bit the life changing experience people said it would be, we're adapting slowly. Fortunately my wife is amazing, and our family has been quick to offer help. Naturally the little tacker enjoys the attention, laughing and smiling.

I did, however, manage some quick trips, one over to Gippsland in the east of Victoria where I found an amazing myrtle beech tree and a subsequent wet weekend that allowed me to revisit some of my favourite Otway's waterfalls.

The keen observers among you may have noticed a gradual shift towards large 3:1 panoramic photography. It's something I've been heading towards for a while, but have decided this year to commit to it. The amount of detail is astounding with the smallest items clearly visible. I'm very excited by the prospect of developing this approach further.
